Remember when people thought it was a coincidence that Collins re-classified the same day that Issac failed out? I hope this works out that well too. Kind of weird that this stuff was out there before Pangos and then Simmons camp played dumb about possibly coming to the US for HS. I like that.

Update on Simmons from Rivals. Doesn't mention any schools, just talks about his talent.

Now that we've had a few weeks for it to sink in, Ben Simmons performance at the Pangos All-American Camp is even more impressive. The 15-year-old Australian was far from home, didn't know anyone and was one of the youngest players. It didn't stop the 6-foot-8 forward. He hit jumpers, he slashed to the rim, he handled the ball and he played with poise reserved for much older players. When it comes time to rank the class of 2015, it's going to be hard to put anybody ahead of him.

The lone 2015 prospect in our mock draft, Simmons was arguably the best prospect at the Pangos All-American Camp in early June. The Australia native runs the floor well, knocks down perimeter shots and attacks the rim with aggressiveness.
